The National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health created the Global Health exhibit to raise awareness of, encourage dialogue about, and inspire action on global health issues. Video, motion graphics, and high-resolution images bring to life the stories of the doctors, students, and activists working on the front lines of global health, as well as the social factors contributing to fear of epidemics such as AIDS. At each turn in the exhibit visitors are confronted with personal accounts of the odds against which people struggle for good health.
